This immune relates to ca y is the object otthis invention to procure a cap of simple construction that shall improvements in be of neaeap earanee, which may bead justed to fit various sizes of heads and which ma be reversed if desired. v My inveiitidn, briefly described, consists (sf-a erown eruon fer-meddoub'le and of difirilt colored material so 'thatit may be reversed, if desired. Both sides are formed from six, p'i'cesgand the edges of theseams are to the inside so that whatever side, is on the outside will have a finished appearance. nesses has one edge attached to the lower edge of the crown throughout substantially the entire distance, a space being leftunattached between the ends of the brim. A loop is attached to the crown midway between the points where the attachment of the brim starts and this loop is adapted to receive the ends of the brim so as to form an adjustable connection that simulates a bow.

In order more clearly to describe my invention, I shall have reference to the accompanying drawing in which the preferred embodiment has been illustrated and in which:

Fig. 1 is a view showing the parts in the position in which they are when the cap is worn;

Fig. 2 is a view showing the ends of the brim withdrawn from the loop; and

Fig. 3 is a section'taken on line 3-3, Fig, 1.

Numeral 1 represents the outer fabric layer of the crown and 2 the inner layer. The two crown portions are preferably constructed exactly alike, but of difierent colored material and have the raw edges on the inside so that whichever side is on the outside will have a smooth finished appearance. A brim 3, which may be made of a single thickness 'or of two thicknesses of suitable material has one side attached to the edge of the crown from point :0 and y but being unattached along the space 0:, z, y. The brim has been shown as provided with a binding 4 sewed to its freeedge. A loop 5 is attached to the crown at 2 half way between points w and 3 and serves to receive the ends 6 and 7 of the brim and to hold them in the manner shown in Figures 1 and A brim made of one or more thick-' between the parts 1 and 2 (Fig; so that it maybe bent 'to'either side. The edge of 3;." The ends of the brim may be slid relathe brim is also'securedbetween theedge's of the crown pieces so that the'appearaiice will not be altered whenthe cap is reversed. I wantto'call particular attention to the construction just described whichemb'o'dies the loop because this permits o'f rea dy adjustment of sizeand gives ap'leasingeflect "and a-t'the same time permits the cap to be turned inside out without altering the appearance except in respect to the color. The loop may be made of any'suitable material such as silk or elastic webbing or even of metal, the only requirement being that it shall serve the function for which it is intended. I

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new is 1. A reversible cap having a brim whose edge is secured in place to the crown for a distance somewhat less than the entire extent of the crown and leaving a free flexible edge between the points where the brim ceases to be attached to the crown, said tend downwardly fromv the crown and to each side thereof, whereby it is adapted to receive and hold ,the ends of the brim in either position of reversal.

2. A reversible cap having a brim whose edge is secured in place to the crown for a distance somewhat less than the entire extent of the crown and leaving a free flexible edge between the points where the brim ceases to be attached to thecrown, said brim being longer than the distance about the crown where it is attached thereto so as to leave two free ends. and a loop attached at able toextend downwardly from the crown and to each side thereof, whereby it is adapted to receive and hold the ends of the brim in either position of reversal.

3. A cap having acrown formed from two thicknesses of material, a brim having one side edge secured in place to the crown for a distance of nearly the entire extent of the crown, but leaving a free flexible edge beone end to the said flexible edge and adjust- I 'tween the points where the, brim ceases to be attached to the crown, said brim'beinglonger than the distance about the crown where it is attached thereto so as to leave two free 3 ends, and a loop attached at one end to said flexible edge and adjustable to extend downe wardly below the crown and to each side thereof, twhereby it is adaptedto receiveand hold the ends of the brim so as to permit.

adjustment of the size.

'4. A reversible cap having a crown formed from two thicknesses of differently colored material, a brim having one side edge secured in place between the edges of the crown for a distance of nearly the entire extent of the crown but leaving a space un attached between the points where the brim ceases to be attached to the crown, said brim being longer than the distance about the crownwhereit is attached thereto so as to leave two free ends and a loop attached to the crown between the two thicknesses of -material midway of the space between the oints where thebrim is attached, said loop eing adapted to. receive and hold the ends of the brim so as to permit adjustments of the size.

.5. A reversible cap having a crown formed from two thicknesses of differently colored material, a brim having one side edge secured in place to the crownfor .adistance of nearly the entire 'extent'of the crown but leaving a space unattached between the points where the brim ceases to be I attachectto the crown, said brim being longer than the distance about the crown where it is attached thereto so as to leave ,two free ends, and a loop attached to the crown between the two thicknesses of material midway of the space between the points where the brim'is attached, said loop being adapted to receive and hold the'ends ofithe brim so as to permit adjustments of the size. a

In testimony whereof I, aflix my signature.
